BTW- what ever happened to TANG?

[underpants]

[RevCheesehead]

1. It's still around.

I use it to clean my toilets when they have calcium rings on them. :)

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. Man, that stuff was God awful

I think the spaceman appeal was the only reason why people bought it

[devilgrrl]

5. It was the spaceman appeal that kept me bothering my mom to get it...

then I tasted it.... :puke: I was had!

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. that stuff was gritty like sawdust...

so I guess that should have been the first tipoff that it wouldn't dissolve well in water

22. Do you remember Space Food Sticks--the "energy bars"

of yesteryear?

[conscious evolution]

26. Sure do

Loved them.I sometimes wonder if one of todays energy bars is recycled space bars.

[Vidar]

28. I agree--had them in my lunch bag for years.

3. I had some tang last night... I don't know what your problem is.

No, I'm mistaken - it was Crystal Light... ;)

[underpants]

4. Really?

How's she doing these days?

[petronius]

9. As sweet as ever!

Just a hint of tartness to keep you on your toes...

:)

6. that stuff was disgusting

:puke:

7. nine of ten customers surveyed

thought it tasted like bitter powdered sawdust, but they are probably still using it in MREs. It has gone to consumer heaven along with Quisp, Kaboom, King Vitamin, Tab, and new Coke.

Or it may still have a niche market. At the grocery store the other day I could not even find Hawaiian Punch, and their cookie aisle has only Famous Amos, Nabisco and nasty looking generics. No Rippin Good cookies. I wonder if they have cold beer (inside family joke).

10. My former roommate drinks it.

They also have a grape variety now.

[Bossy Monkey]

11. It's bad/it's worldwide

http://www.kraft.com/archives/brands/brands_tang.html
"Today, the Tang brand is the leading powdered beverage brand in Kraft’s Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific geographic regions." I guess some places, astronauts are still hip.

12. You can get it at Kroger's and Ukrop's.

Works great for cleaning out the dishwasher.

Costco has the giant size. Simply fabu.

[underpants]

13. I can't fit in the dishwasher

so I don't think it will be off any help to me

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. I thought Tang had gone the way of Space Food Sticks until

I saw it in the grocery store a while back. :P Too bad I don't think they make the grape kind any more. It was far better than the orange crap. :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

15. I drink it

especially when I'm hungover :D

[madinmaryland]

16. It's been repackaged as this stuff.....

[Ravenseye]

17. The Proper Way To Drink Tang

Don't put it in water, mix it into Milk. Then you're drinking a creamsicle. MMMM.

I love doing that but it makes my wife throw up in her mouth just watching me drink it. Different strokes I guess.

18. I was contemplating getting some unsweetened Tang at the commissary

yesterday. They only had it in the 'tubs' that make 2 quarts though.

[Patiod]

19. Maybe Homer drank it all

Homer calls NASA.

Homer: "How come I can't get no Tang 'round here?!",
NASA: "How did you get our number?"
Homer: "Shutup!"

He also calls the President at the White House:

Homer: "Hello, is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you.....Shut up!"

//This episode aired in 1994, long before anyone ever heard of Monica Lewinsky....

[hsher]

20. The Sea Monkeys drank it all

Right after subscribing to Grit ;)
Then they ate each other.

[Bassic]

21. My band and I exhausted their supply once before a gig and they could

never recover.

Man that was one fucked up gig.

[BarenakedLady]

23. I loved Tang

Not the drink, just the powder.

[JVS]

24. I think it is good

[SOteric]

25. You're married. You can kiss it goodbye.

:hi:

[begin_within]

27. Loved it as a kid... now it's ICK stuff. Strange how your tastes change.
